Reply to comment by The_Original_Hybrid in The Great People Shortage is coming — and it's going to cause global economic chaos | Researchers predict that the world's population will decline in the next 40 years due to declining birth rates — and it will cause a massive shortage of workers. by Shelfrock77

I think it's horseshit that is so heavily paywalled. As per maths related degrees, yes, understanding the how and why interactions between equations etc requires instruction, but the heart of this article is about population decline and lack of work force, getting "great paying work" for the mass majority (not including entrepreneurs, or other outlying situations) this mass of wealth requires a giant paywall to make a living wage. If you've not been blessed with super stable life, the 80% of jobs out there, vs cost of living are simply inequitable. It doesn't make sense to populate anymore. The societal economics of the country are fundamentally destroyed because the hamster wheel of chasing a better life doesn't exist anymore. Most things are unattainable without disproportionate sacrifice
